About Comox Valley Transition Society

The (Comox Valley Transition Society) (CVTS) and (Dawn to Dawn Action on Homelessness) (Dawn to Dawn) are getting ready to host their 10th annual Coldest Night of the Year fundraising walk!


CVTS offers support to women, children and families through a variety of programs including those who are presently or are at risk of becoming homeless; we operate 172 units of provincially subsidized housing and administer 59 rental supplements to make housing more affordable for 59 eligible households. CVTS operates the Connect Shelter, a safe, welcoming place for vulnerable individuals who are experiencing homelessness.


Dawn to Dawn is a grassroots, community-based organization focused on preventing and addressing homelessness, with a particular emphasis on supporting those disproportionately impacted by our current systems. We provide trauma-informed, culturally grounded support services to help individuals remain housed and avoid the cycle of homelessness. Our approach combines wrap-around case management, peer support, and life skills development to ensure long-term stability and well-being.


Please join us in 2025 as we strive to raise $225,000 to help families and individuals who are experiencing or facing homelessness in the Comox Valley.


About Dawn to Dawn

The Comox Valley Transition Society and Dawn to Dawn are teaming up once again for our joint annual Coldest Night of the Year fundraising walk to end homelessness.


Dawn to Dawn utilizes a scattered housing - Housing First Model to house folks who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.


Please join us this year as our collective goal is to raise $225,000 to help families and individuals in the Comox Valley facing homelessness.


We need your help more than ever!
